Take a trip to the Basel Zoo or venture along the Rhine river before heading an hour or so drive back to Zurich.

Berne – 1 day

Hire an Avis car and drive to the capital of Switzerland, Berne. This picturesque city’s old town is a UNESCO world heritage site. Climb the Gurten hill for a lovely view over the city or if the sun is shining explore Bear Park. Home to the Swiss houses of parliament, Berne also provides a selection of museums and a zoo, as well as a 13th century clock tower that is well worth a look at.

Lucerne

Home to sights including the Chapel Bridge, said to be the oldest wooden bridge in Europe and the Swiss transport museum, Lucerne is a pretty city in the heart of Switzerland. The more active can ascend Mount Pilatus for views to the Alps and over the small city. Lucerne is also a great base from which to explore famous Swiss sites such as Mount Rigi and the Rütli Meadow.

Lausanne

Drive to the home of the International Olympic Committee and gateway to some of the best ski slopes in the world. It is also a gateway to the Lavaux vineyard region, a UNESCO site.

There is also a small zoo there.
